    Very disappointing experience- I took my clients and told them the service always good from my past visits- exactly the opposite happened and I was embarrassed. From the start, server didn’t seem to care about properly serving us. Served with coffee cream gone base- which I don’t blame the server. Never came back to apologize and utensils without the folk. Up to this point- I understand things could happen without the server’s fault. Once ordered, no follow up service and given a check . Called ahead of time and told them it was one of my client’s birthday and told them I don’t paying extra for a surprise dessert. Server obviously didn’t know and had to remind her. She was eager to check on the credit card but I wanted to order extra dessert and coffee for the group. Overall very disappointing experience and had to apologize to my clients.

    Our waiter, Ethan was great. Very friendly and attentive. This was our second return and the first waiter was not so great with a bit of attitude. Thoroughly enjoyed Ethan as our waiter.
